Summary
“Why are you looking for medicine in the middle of the night?” Katara seeks out Zuko’s face again, but it’s simply a vague outline in the dark. There’s no reply. She forges ahead, regardless, genuine worry mounting.
“Zuko, what’s-” She’s cut off by a sound halfway between a sob and a frustrated snarl. Katara wastes no more time, striding straight up to the shadowy figure and groping for his arm in the dark.
“Zuko, give me a light, now.”
“Katara, just go.”
“Now.” Throughout this unexpected encounter, Katara has been whispering, but now she injects command into her voice. The single word brokers no argument, and Zuko doesn’t give her one.

Summary
He opened his mouth to reassure his uncle, to tell him that he’d be able to start running in just as second, just as soon as the world stopped spinning, but instead all he muttered was, “I’m tired.”
When Iroh brushed against the back of Zuko’s head the pain there abruptly muscled to the front of Zuko’s list of issues, and he gave a loud groan. Iroh pulled back quickly, but Zuko could see that his hand was now dripping with blood.
“Then you should rest, Prince Zuko,” Iroh said, his voice calm and controlled, which would’ve been very nice if the lines of concern on his face hadn’t been so obvious. Zuko watched blearily as Iroh began to look sharply around them, apparently assessing something. “A man needs his rest.”
The world started getting hazy again, but the lack of attempted movement was a slight improvement. A series of shouts pulled him back from the creeping numbness, and Zuko forced his eyelids open.
Iroh was waving his arms, signaling to someone. “We surrender!” Iroh bellowed. “I am with the Crown Prince of the Fire Nation, and he needs a doctor!”
***
OR:
Zuko and Iroh are taken prisoner by the Northern Water Tribe following the battle in Agna Qel’a.

Summary
His father traces his scar one last time, then leans back, his long silk sleeves brushing against the filthy straw. “Would you like to come out of this cell, Zuko? Your room at the palace is waiting for you. You can take a bath. Have a fine dinner. Put on clean clothes. There is a meeting of the ministers tomorrow afternoon, and I would be so glad if my heir would attend.”
Maybe the executioner really is waiting, and this is all a trap.
But, maybe not.
Zuko has always been a survivor.
And he has been in this cell long enough to know that no one is coming for him.
OR:
The reign of Fire Lord Zuko lasted for three years before his father’s coup.
That was two years ago, and now Ozai is ready to let Zuko out of prison. After all, a Fire Lord needs his heir – assuming that heir has learned his lesson.

Summary
A messenger hawk practically fell from the sky and onto the deck. It croaked quietly in misery when a soldier scooped it up, its wings fluttering from exhaustion, feathers tipped in frost. The urgency that had driven the bird to fly beyond reason was immediately clear when the scroll was untied from its leg and slipped free from the oilcloth that had protected it from the elements – the wax seal of the head Fire Sage gleamed in the dying sunlight.
**
“Dead.” Admiral Zhao stared at the scroll. The almost habitual smirk was gone from his face, and his expression was almost slack from the shock. “The Fire Lord is dead?”
***
OR:
Before the Fire Nation fleet arrives at the Northern Water Tribe, news arrives that Ozai is dead. The planned invasion is called off, and Iroh and Zuko return to Caldera City to deal with the sudden change in regimes.

Summary
All Zuko had been trying to do was wash some dishes. Or: The one where Zuko and Katara both mean well, but still can't find their footing around each other in time to prevent explosive shouting, broken dishes, an impromptu arrest, and Team Avatar's third- nay, fourth jailbreak. Fifth? They've lost count at this point, but at least they're not willing to lose Zuko... now, if only he realized that.

Summary
Zuko goes into exile with a scar, a mission, and a wife.
The girl wears ill fitted ceremonial silks. She is too thin, with jutting bones and hollowed eyes. Dirt smudges her cheek. Her lower lip has a healing split in it. Gaudy as her finery is, she wears it like prisoner’s rags.
All of this Zuko registers in the time it takes him to reach the dais and bow. Every muscle aches with the remembrance of what happened the last time he knelt before Father. This time there is no begging, no roar of the crowd, no burning. Still—Zuko’s grateful to stand once more.
Slipping into soldier’s parade rest, he waits for what will come next, all too aware of the girl’s defiant body next to his.
“I am told that this is Katara of the Southern Water Tribe,” Father says, cruel amusement oiling his words. The phrasing makes the girl sound like a thing. “The last waterbender of their pathetic tribe.” Flames conceal all but his shadow, yet Zuko knows from long experience the exacting blade of his father’s smirk. The smirk he must surely wear now. Because he has built up his insult and now he lets it fall. “Your bride.”

Three Nights by quirkybestfriend for zutarafy

Summary
Zuko gets sick after the rescue mission on the Boiling Rock. As the resident healer, Katara has to take care of him.
Moonlight draped over him in a gauzy blanket, painting him in a hazy silver that softened his edges. She gently brushed the hair that had fallen over his face, her touch feather-light, mindful of the scar of which he was surely dreaming. Katara had never seen him like this — so defenseless, so vulnerable. She had a suspicion that this was a side of Zuko no one ever saw, and it unnerved her.
After leaving Yon Rah crying in the mud, Katara, Zuko and Appa take shelter in a cave from the storm.
The cold had sunk deep, past skin and marrow, settling somewhere close to her heart. What terrified her most wasn’t the cold — it was the certainty that it would never leave, she would have to live with it forever.
The next thing she knew was Zuko’s face hovering over her, close enough to eclipse the world, his palms burning against her cheeks. The air was thick with him - jasmine and lavender and smoke — and she drew it in. With each inhale, the fog thinned, her heartbeat steadied, her vision sharpening breath by breath. -
